Here is what I do:

Script to open browser:

on mouseUp
   put the windowID of this stack into tWindowID

   -- open the browser, using the windowID and initial URL
   put revBrowserOpen(tWindowID, "http://www.runrev.com") into tBrowserId

   -- set the rect of the browser
   revBrowserSet tBrowserId, "rect", rect of grc "BrowserRect"

   -- set a border round the browser
   revBrowserSet tBrowserId, "showBorder", true
end mouseUp


Script to close all browsers when finished:

on mouseUp
   put revBrowserInstances() into tInstances
   repeat for each item tInstance in tInstances
      revBrowserClose tInstance
   end repeat
end mouseUp

I have these as button scripts, but you probably want to make them
part of openStack & closeStack handlers.

Make a stack and draw a rectangle graphic to whatever size you want.
Or if you want to fill the window completely, use this:
   revBrowserSet tBrowserId, "rect", rect of this card

Then in the preOpenStack, you could resize the stack to fill the screen.

Cheers,
